Weekend Challenge

A new study links being outdoors and increased creativity.

Got any plans for this weekend? We understand it may be scorching in your neck of the woods as summer heats up, but getting outside will not only reconnect you with nature. It’ll also make you more creative.

Check it out: a recent study showed that hikers became 50% more creative after they spent four days cruising around a trail. Getting away from gadgets and walls can have serious brain benefits.

You don’t have to hike all weekend, of course. Our guess is that spending just an hour or so outside, whether you’re camping, walking, or throwing a Frisbee will help clear your mind, breather easier, and maybe even refocus. Give it a shot.
